Overview
Our self guided cycling holiday on Terceira is one of the best ways to explore this beautiful volcanic island.
The island of Terceira has some of the most interesting, most protected landscapes in the Azores. 20% of the island is classified as a protected Natural Park, to conserve island’s Laurel Forests. It’s also a very volcanic landscape, formed by overlapping eruptions over thousands of years. Your rides will take you deep into the heart the island, criss-crossing the Reserva Florestal Natural do Biscoitos da Ferraria, the Serra do Cume and the Achada valley. You’ll also visit two of the Azores most famous volcanic landmarks: the Algar do Carvao lava tunnels and the Gruta da Natal caves.
Your home for the week is the Pousada Sao Sebastiao in the historic capital Angra de Heroismo – where you can spend your evenings enjoying the best Azorean cuisine and Portuguese wines.
Our local guides Tiago and Isabel will supply you with bikes, guided notes, maps and a GPS, and they’ll shuttle you to and from each ride. You’ll also have some time off the bikes and you can personalise your holiday with a whale and dolphin watching trip or a sea kayaking session. Travelling to Terceira is easy – there are weekly direct flights throughout the summer from the UK, Boston and Toronto, and daily flights all year around from Lisbon and Sao Miguel.
